Don't read pinned threads ever, it's just a 'wall of sound' in terms of information. And whether it's a matter of perception or intention they are the graveyard for many otherwise interesting threads. Tactically I notice players seem to find it worthwhile posting yet another arty or MM thread simply because they get the required nugget of information or feedback before it is moved to the chaos of the pinned thread, so it's a self generating sequence of events.

Pinned stuff should be IMPORTANT. It shouldn't be just "the most common discussion", because most peoples comments on a certain topic will never be seen in the wall of sound.
